Crossover Cover: Sherlock Holmes: Gods of War

In
Late September 1913, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson battle a
murderous cult seeking to engineer a World War. Holmes describes the
time he met Dupin, who failed to impress him. One of the cultists is
descended from Sir Nigel Loring, but the reference is to the
historical knight of that name, not Doyle’s heavily fictionalized
version. The foreword, allegedly written by Watson in 1923, claims
Holmes is now deceased, and it is stated within the main text Mycroft
died seven years ago (that is, in 1906). Watson also describes Mary
Morstan as his first wife, whereas in the CU she was his second wife.
All these factors place this book in an AU.
